because survivors hate dealing with the best killer in the game
It's because people don't want to learn to face a certain killer or some people just feel a killer is "unfun" so rather than learn how to deal with them they just give up.
If you keep boosting your mmr that will stop as good survivors see legion as an easy win.
his whole power is slowdown, and just that. No interaction on the survivor's part, unlike plague. Legion frenzies, he WILL deep wound you, then usually run off. You then waste time holding m1 to accomplish nothing besides avoid getting downed. He has no power besides that, as unless the survivors are for some reason all stacked together, there's no chance for a frenzy down. Survivors feel this is uninteractive and boring, as it honestly is. There's no counterplay, nor should there be any, because his power isn't that good, but it's just a slog to go through a game injured pretty much the whole match having to mend every minute or two, doubly so if the legion has thanatophobia. It's a fast-paced game, it makes sense that people don't like legion, as unlike other slow-paced killers (hag, trapper, maybe singularity) he has no counterplay and there's no real feeling of interaction. Hag has wiping away traps and harassing them, trapper has disarming and avoiding usually trapped tiles, singu has EMPS and baiting the teleport, as well as pre-dropping. Legion has no counter besides splitting up and never doing a gen together, which isn't even necessary as he can only chase one of you and you'll all be injured the whole match regardless, it's only useful to avoid a frenzy down, which is once in a blue moon anyways, even if he got 3 frenzy hits off one gen, it's more likely than not that frenzy will end before he gets a frenzy down.
He really is the most unfun killer because he has no counterplay, shouldn't have any because of how weak he is, no real interactivity with his power, and no skill pronunciation with it.
because nobody likes too play with a Legion

No survs quit BECAUSE they play vs legion. They're probably sub 10 hour bods who get hit twice in 10 seconds and think "sod this". Any good survs take the easy win and move on if they have more than 30 hours.

The "counter play" is chill out, heal yourself, keep banging gennies and win. might take you 10 mins longer but it's as steady as it gets

Everyone thinks its due to not understand how to play against Legion or skill issue but in reality it's honestly just a miserable mending sim

This
I always think of Legion as giving an extra health state but I feel like 90% of the time people forget Mend exist and then a minute later they are collapsed from not mending themselves and trying to repair a generator.

Solo queue survivors like to group up and heal whenever they are injured regardless of context.

It's bad practice to do that in general, but any killer that heavily counters those two things is going to be despised. I find it so funny that there are people who rarely escape, get slugged, tunneled at 5 gens, but let them have to work on a gen injured and they're giving up, especially if it's alone.

The only annoying part of Legion is when teammates group up and let him get to his 5th hit. That's a survivor issue though. Otherwise it's get hit, mend, do a gen. If he gets pissed that I immediately mend and cancels Feral Frenzy, then I loop. He's a very easy killer to run in a chase. Actually quite enjoyable compared to most killers these days. That's why I don't really understand people who hate him.

Even if he tries to go for the lowest form of anti-loop, pallet eating, he can't do it as efficiently as a Wraith or Clown and unlike against them, jungle gyms are still safe to use instead of constantly holding W.

because legion is boring to play against, pretty obvious.
Legion disincentives teamwork. It's bad to stick together when Legion is near, and healing wastes time. As his power purely runs on slowdown. Tack on top of the meta perks and it's just not fun anymore.

Much like plague, he pretty much operates on keeping everyone wounded and you have 1 less health state to fret over.
its because they dont know how to split up when someone gets hit or loop
